I say let the rural scum get EXACTLY what they voted for, I'm tired of bailing them out and getting spit on for the trouble. Tired of ruraloids treating every urban area like a resource extraction colony meant to fund their extravagant gentry nonsense. If they want live like hogs in shit let em!

There's really no reason even vaguely fit women can't serve most frontline roles on the modern battlefield, you don't need herculean strength and endurance to hold a trench and pull a trigger. We've let the Afghanistan experience cloud what its like to fight where the loc aren't that long or arduous

Nobody was ever more right than the RAND report that said that state behaivor in the 21st century would be way more akin to how feudal states acted than the mass mobilizing behavior of the 20th century

Cable news talks about war in the exact same vibe broadcast sports announcers make sure they always say like "Invesco Field at Mile High" instead of "Mile High Stadium"

Tbh they would've if they'd seen the osint work defmon did but he mostly stays on twitter so it didnt breach the bubble

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

I always remember how professed twitter "leftists" decided they were beefing with kurzgesagt because it was "bill gates foundation propoganda" probably one of the first signals that one of the real cleavage points in modern politics was those were low social trust vs high social trust

I hate it here

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN welcome to your one stop shop for coverage of the cville city council election as results come in through the night! We have our first ballots in from Carver Jackson and Buford, Fleisher with a strong early lead though obviously results this preliminary don't matter

It's funny in a grim way that alot of politics is just about figuring out whose allowed to grift/engage in protected rentierism and who isn't. Sorry you won't get me to say the Luddites were good because they wanted to protect their position of getting to extract more wealth from the populace

The press is the enemy! The press is the enemy! The press is the enemy!

We are at war and it is time that those in positions of power and authority realize it. Vipers have snuck into the nest and now seek replace us and corrupt us. Only when we realize this is not a taint that can be reasoned with but all consuming corruption that must be destroyed can we move forward.

I think a piece of this is now there's a slight social pressure on authors to have to justify every eyebrow raising creative decision made on the balance of if its worth the trouble/justified in story. The information economy feasts on these decisions so its a new pressure.

Being on the Truth and Reconciliation committee 6 years from now that recommends nearly every member of the press spend the rest of their lives breaking rocks in north dakota is gonna hit like gods personal cocaine bump

just unlocked your phone's face ID with this corncob

I feel the yearning to get back to writing something I've had on my mind the past year, just have to extract the story from the concept

The one thing that gives me hope we might soon return to this state of things has been the great growth of web assembly as a viable way to deliver executable code that works on modern browsers. All we need now is the tooling that makes creating WASM games/animations easy and fun to make.

Wondering if this LA stuff is the manifestation of slowly then all at once. Good luck to those in LA
